TCB Debriefing 1/10/24: Wolves of Glendale, Golden Globes, Creative Arts Emmys, Tina Fey, Carrie Coon, Our Flag Means Death/Julia
January 10, 2024
News

1. Umm, apologies for the irregular schedule here. We have two full time jobs now (artistic directing a theater is the other) and while we’ll do our best to have a Debriefing M-F, it’s just going to fall through sometimes. Again, sorry about that, but all the news you need to know will just be in the following debriefing. Also, go to everything at the Lyric Hyperion; no reason in particular.

2. Now, for a musical comedy break from the beautiful, dulcet harmonies and (ridiculous ass lyrics) of the Wolves of Glendale in a decidedly peppy and absurd Don’t Tell Comedy set.

3. Jo Koy wasn’t great, but hosting any awards are either a death sentence or a gilded cage (see Billy Crystal, Bob Hope, and, currently, Jimmy Kimmel). All hail Poor Things for Best Musical or Comedy Film and The Bear as the TV series and boo and hiss to Ricky Gervais being awarded a statue for his droll special. If you HAVE to go with a white guy special from 2023, you should have gone with Maron or Joe Zimmerman.

3. Mulaney, I Think You Should Leave, and Carol Burnett all winning Creative Arts Emmys should make a case for including more categories in the actual Primetime Emmys telecast.

5. Tina Fey is reviving a starring in an 80s comedy, The Four Seasons (THR). Curious to see if this is a slick way to make sure to have five star accommodations while shooting or riding the coat tails of the critic beloved White Lotus.

6. Speaking of luxury hotel based comedies, one of the best actresses of our time, Carrie Coon, has just confirmed to be on the season 3 cast of The White Lotus (Deadline). May she live through at least five episodes.

7. Aaaaand, speaking of dying, both Our Flag Means Death and Julia got canceled at Max. Even through the strikes are over, Max is still dishing out the ax. It’s a damn shame.

8. We’ll leave you with this:

Amy Poehler & Tina Fey to Go on Four City “Restless Leg Tour”
February 13, 2023
News
amy poehler, comedy tour, tina fey

Come this Spring, Martin Short and Steve Martin won’t be the only beloved comedy duo being prominently featured across the country. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, very likely to be remembered as one of the best hosts of an awards shows, but to be remembered as comedy legends when all is said and done between they’re two storied careers (SNL, UCB, 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Wet Hot American Summer, and on and on and on).

Needless to say, folks will want to see the two together once more and, indeed, that’s what’s happening from Apr. 28th to Jun. 10th in four cities here in the Lower 48. Poehler and Fey will be sharing the stage once more to trade bits, stories, and more of whatever they want on their Restless Leg Tour.

The cities and dates are as follows:

Washington D.C. on 4/28 @ DAR Constitution Hall (Washington D.C.)
5/20 @ The Chicago Theatre
6/9 @ MGM Music Hall at Fenway (Boston)
6/10 @ Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena (Atlantic City)

And, you can (and very much should) go get tickets here on Fri. 10AM (local time to city).

Netflix Is A Joke Fest Is Back (and Even Bigger?) for 2022

One of the first major comedy festivals to get postponed indefinitely because of COVID-19 was Netflix’s gigantic celebration of comedy that brought out all their biggest stars and their accompanying constellations, Netflix Is a Joke Fest. It was also going to be the first big comedy festival in LA in years (since Riot LA in DTLA ended its run).

For 2020, Netflix seemingly spared no expense to make the biggest comedy festival they could in Los Angeles and it was heartbreaking to see none of that happen in 2020 and have no idea if and when it would happen again.

Well, on this side of the pandemic, Netflix Is a Joke Fest was just announced to be back on, running from Thurs. Apr. 28th-Sun. May 8th, and Netflix is making sure to make it even bigger it would appear. Their stable of venues includes LA’s biggest (which wasn’t planned for 2020) including Dodger Stadium, Staples Center (now known as Crypto.com Arena), The Forum, and The Hollywood Bowl on top of beloved LA comedy haunts, old and new, The Comedy Store, The Hollywood Improv, Dynasty Typewriter, and The Elysian.

The top billing for the line-up is also more robust than we remember. On the schedule, the streamer has David Letterman, Tina Fey/Amy Poehler, Ali Wong, Eddie Izzard, Larry David, Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, Seth Rogen’s Table Reads, Marc Maron, Jane Fonda/Lily Tomlin, John Mulaney, Mike Birbiglia, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, Colin Quinn, Mike Myers, Chris Rock, Ilana Glazer, Jimmy Carr, Taylor Tomlinson, Margaret Cho, Ben Schwartz, and Kevin Smith.

Oh yeah, there’s Dave Chappelle too as well as Aziz Ansari who are two of Netflix’s biggest gets within their talent pool, but have had the “cancellation” treatment. We have no doubt that their shows will sell out.

As they are billing it as the “biggest comedy event in history*, *probably” (SF Sketchfest does have way more programming and the Edinburgh Fringe is bigger than most festivals, period.), they’ve also filled out their line-up with plenty of folks (including many of our absolute favorites) that you shouldn’t miss if you’re putting the money down for Netflix Is a Joke Fest. That includes Todd Glass, Melissa Villaseñor, Guy Branum, Natalie Palamides doing Laid, Beth Stelling, James Adomian, Robin Tran, Mae Martin, and Sam Jay.

You can take a gander at the schedule here, then go get tickets starting this Fri. Dec. 10th at NetflixIsAJokeFest.com.

Honestly, bandying over the winners of The Golden Globes is a fool’s errand (though it’s nice that an actual comedy got awards in the comedy & or musical category with Borat Subsequent Moviefilm).

The highlight here is awards hosting power duo, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, returning to one of the gigs they were clearly anointed to do, The Golden Globes. Fey and Poehler together balance the right amount of bits, jabs at the HFPA, and asides about the nominees to carry on their celebrated legacy of presiding over the evening’s events.

Interestingly, the very limited in-person audience were all first responders and essential workers, which means you can hear the laughs more clearly and heartily as opposed to it being lost in a sea of celebrities in a gigantic ball room or theater.

Truly, Fey and Poehler should just have a whole special dedicated to hosting awards shows.

Watch and enjoy their 2021 Golden Globes Opening Monologue here.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Host Golden Globes for 4th Time, Simulcast from LA and NYC
February 2, 2021
News
amy poehler, golden globes, tina fey

(via Variety)

Unlike so many more of the major awards ceremonies, the Golden Globes do not have a very long tradition of hosts and being a big televised to-do like the Primetime Emmys or the Oscars.

That being said, few award hosts have shined quite like the pairing of longtime comedy collaborators Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Up to 2015, they hosted the Golden Globes three consecutive times and were lauded for their performance, a rarity in the recent years of awards hosting. Of course, each had their own comedy and entertainment empires to tend to and retired from their roles hosting the ceremony.

Now, as COVID-19 has proven that it’s very likely to ruin most of 2021, the Golden Globes will have to be done remotely and virtually and they’re tapping Poehler and Fey once more as hosts to help navigate these uncharted waters. Fey and Poehler won’t even be in the same room for the occasion. Fey will be in NYC and Poehler here in LA, Beverly Hills in particular, co-hosting across the country, simulcast. We have faith that they’ll come up with some great bit about that.

Mostly, in a time where people desire what’s familiar and what they know has brought them comfort, it’s nice to see that Amy and Tina will take up the hosting mantle once more.

The Golden Globes is set to air live on Sun. Feb. 28th at 5PM PT/8PM ET.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Will Host the 2021 Golden Globes

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Will Host the 2021 Golden Globes

Ever since The Golden Globes started having hosts for their awards ceremonies, it certainly seems like a very Star Wars-ish arc has been taking place over the last several years. 

Ricky Gervais invites some chaos every time he hosts The Golden Globes, making it an all out roast on his end. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler then balance that energy out with grace, poise, and endless cleverness to the ceremony and it might just keep going that way (especially considering that Fey and Poehler have already said that they were done hosting The Golden Globes years ago).

In any case, more Tina Fey and Amy Poehler together in this role, as they will be in 2021′s Golden Globes, is a net positive for all. 

Carol Burnett Is Developing a Feature Adaptation of Her Book ‘Carrie and Me’ with Tina Fey at Focus Features

Carol Burnett Is Developing a Feature Adaptation of Her Book ‘Carrie and Me’ with Tina Fey at Focus Features

Someone’s wish for Carol Burnett and Tina Fey to do a movie or TV show together just came true (as we guess it probably would at some point). 

We’ll wait and see if Focus Features gives a greenlight to this adaptation to Burnett’s book about her and her late daughter with Fey on board, but we have a hard time imagining this not going into production and getting a theatrical release of some kind. 

There are no details as to whether Burnett and Fey will be on-screen together, but we can, at least for now, dream.

Season 4 Trailer of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Tackles Robots, Sexual Harassment, and, of Course, Has Plenty of Smiles

Now entering to its 4th season on Netflix, we can’t help but notice how much of a well-oiled machine Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is at this point, which, unfortunately, doesn’t get to be the case for similar high concepts sitcoms on linear TV.  

Being a single camera scripted show and staying pretty topical (#MeToo, AI) and making that all work is impressive. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has kept up that standard for three seasons and, according to this trailer, will likely live up to it again in this upcoming season.

Season 4 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt begins streaming on Netflix on May 30th.

NBC Renews ‘Great News’ for Second Season

Perhaps NBC has wised up and will not let another Tina Fey-Robert Carlock series get away from them. 

Great News will get 13 more episodes for a second season despite ratings being a little rocky as of late.

On a day where a good majority of freshman comedies got the ax, we’re glad to see that Great News will get a chance to see if it can be worthy successor to 30 Rock and yet another great addition to the Tina Fey canon.

NBC did let Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt get away. 

However, it would seem that they’re not going to make the same mistake with another show from the minds behind 30 Rock. 

So, with that in mind, catch the series premiere of Great News, the new show from Fey, Wigfield and Carlock (who delighted us all for years at the aforementioned 30 Rock) tonight at 9PM on NBC.

From the promo, there’s promise of something that could be really good here.

Tina Fey’s ‘Mean Girls’ Musical to Start in Washington D.C. on October 31st

The Mean Girls musical is indeed happening as adapted by the original screenwriter, Tina Fey. The first run will happen at Washington D.C.’s National Theatre from October 31st through December 3rd. 

It’s almost as if Tina Fey wants to make sure that she, on Halloween, can bother the White House, if she so wishes, in spirit.

Also, take note they haven’t found their lead who would play the role that Lindsay Lohan so famously played in the original film, but we’re guessing that Lohan isn’t in any sort of talks for the part.

Please Watch Tina Fey’s Full Acceptance Speech for the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award

A great hilarious intro from Jon Hamm is followed by a flat out hilarious, honest, empowering 20 minute speech from Tina Fey that covers her career in the greater context of being a powerful woman in Hollywood and what to do going forward in the coming years. It’s so funny that it borders on being another awards show monologue that Fey has killed for so many years with Amy Poehler.

It is definitely in the category of speeches you need to hear right now and you can watch it here.

Key & Peele got a proper send-off for the final season with this Emmy win and what might be talked about as one of Louie Anderson’s best performances of his career in Baskets as the mother nabbed him a statue as well. Also, Master of None’s writing definitely earned its Emmy win here.  

Take note of the power of premium cable and streaming services, particularly HBO and Amazon, in this round of winners.

Universal Follows Up Their Four Year Overall Deal with Tina Fey with a Two Year First Look Deal
February 3, 2016
Uncategorized
tina fey, universal

(via The Wrap)

Tina Fey is going from having license to develop TV at Universal Television to having license to develop movies at Universal Pictures.

Back in 2012, Tina Fey signed a four year overall deal with Universal to develop series for them. Given all of her success in that realm, and then the success of Sisters, Fey, along with her production company Little Stranger, has gotten a whole new first look deal for the next two years that allows her to develop feature film projects for the studio. 

Already, she’s developing a comedy about three women who learn how to count cards based on a Good Housekeeping article “You Bet!” by Ruth Palmer.

Along this path, we wouldn’t be surprised if Tina Fey launched her own studio.

Got my Super Bowl squad ready. Hey Tina Fey, @MargotRobbie, Will Ferrell, @KeeganMKey, and @JordanPeele: Aim for the knees! #LSSC

Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, and Margot Robbie should make for a pretty special episode of The Late Show after this year’s Super Bowl. We mean, that’s in addition to whatever ultra clever stuff Colbert has up his sleeve on his own.

Oh yeah, you should check out what Stephen is up to at The Late Show these days. It’s pretty great and showcases how many gears, both comedic and emphatic, Colbert can shift in and out of even though he’s not in character.

Often times, when a man remarries, he goes for a woman that is younger, perhaps so much younger that it’s kind of ridiculous.

While Star Wars: The Force Awakens is poised to break every box office record known to man this weekend, it is still legal, as Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have been saying, to see both Sisters and Star Wars in the same weekend.

To hit that point home, the entire cast of Sisters including Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch, and Maya Rudolph on top of Tina and Amy as well as writer Paula Pell went on Late Night with Seth Meyers and voiced various Star Wars action figures to say why you should go see Sisters.

Indeed, they do make a great case for seeing both.

The latest offering from Tina Fey and Robert Carlock is coming in the form of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a comedy following Fey as she volunteers to go to war torn Afghanistan as a reporter. A supporting cast including Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina and Billy Bob Thornton makes this adaptation of “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days In Afghanistan And Pakistan” by Kim Barker, written by Carlock, very intriguing.

Get a look at for yourself in this very first trailer then look for its release in theater Fri. Mar. 4th, 2016.

By the way, the phrase “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is the original WTF.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are continuing the uphill battle of having their movie, Sisters, open on the same weekend as Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Enlisting Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer to be in a faux promo that really should be another movie all on its own (because who wouldn’t want to go see a movie with Abbi, Ilana, Tina, and Amy?) is definitely a good move.

On Dec. 18th, both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the latest Tina Fey and Amy Poehler offering, Sisters, roll out into theaters nationwide. Fey and Poehler are obviously worried that an original film might not have the draw of the return of Star Wars, so they made this Star Wars-tinged featurette that encourages you to watch at least two movies that weekend before Christmas.

Actually, so many of the opening day tickets, over $50 million worth of them, for Star Wars have been sold out already. So, odds are that you probably have little conflict on what you want to see on the weekend of Dec. 18th.
